Ashley was caught by surprise when she heard Freya’s request. After gathering her thoughts, she said, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier if you needed money? Of course, I will lend it to you. Just give me a number and I’ll transfer it now.” Freya looked at her with gratitude.

Ashley went quiet.

“Since you need money, Gideon must be really bad to you, right?”

“That’s not true. He helped me pay for Granny’s old folks’ home expenses, but I don’t want to owe him, so I want to return him the money.” Ashley instantly understood what she meant. They had been friends for years, so she knew Freya’s concerns well. She quickly took a card from her purse. “Is $5000 enough for the fees?” “It’s too much.”

“You can save the money for later.”

Freya stopped turning down her offer and accepted the money.

After lunch, Ashley took Freya out to the opera.

When they came out, Freya sighed happily, “How many times do I have to go for high society activities popular with the ladies with you?”

Ashley smiled and suddenly said, “I heard about a good movie that’s aired recently. Do you want to watch it?”

Freya adored engaging in mentally un-challenging activities like watching the movies.

When they came out of the movie theater, it was almost 7:00 p.m. Freya got into Ashley’s car and just as she was putting on her seat belt, Ashley asked, “Since you are helping me with the matchmaking session tomorrow, why don’t you spend the night at my place?”

“I can’t. I have to get back to Bay View Garden.”

“The man threw you out of the car halfway home. Why should you go back?” “I am already married, so things have changed for me. Why don’t you send me home? I need to talk to him about something anyway.” Ashley could not convince Freya to change her mind, so she replied mildly, “Fine.”

After the red supercar started its engine and drove off, Freya suddenly recalled her phone had been flat all afternoon.

She took out her cable and charged her phone in the car. After plugging in her phone, she turned it on.

Notifications for countless missed calls and text messages came in. They were all from Gideon.

When Freya saw this, she had an ominous feeling about it.

The man had also sent Freya text messages. Just by looking at their contents, Freya could tell how angry he must have sounded.

The first text message from him read: [Where have you gone?!]

The second one said: [Call me when you get this!)

The third text message read: (Get to the main Carter residence this instant!]

When Freya saw the third text message, she had an inkling of why he was so anxious. He needed her to go to the Carter residence with him.

If they had to go to the family home, Uncle Charles would be there. Gideon or his woman might end up punished if she was absent. “Ashley, I am not going to Bay View Garden anymore. Take me to the Carter residence please.” “But why?” “Gideon wants me to go, so something is probably happening there.” Ashley had also heard all the notifications coming from Freya’s phone when she checked her messages earlier. She glanced at it from the corner of her eye and saw over 20 unread text messages.

She smiled and said mildly, “Gideon seems to worry about you a lot.”

“He is worried about the woman he loves.”

“Are you talking about the vegetable?”

Freya said calmly, “Everyone in Ocean City knows about it. Who else could it be?”

“In my opinion, Gideon is an intelligent man with money and power. Since you are already married to him, you should make good use of this opportunity. That way, you won’t have to worry about money for the rest of your life.”

“Make good use of my opportunity? It’s not like he likes me, you know?” “You need to cultivate a relationship with him, okay?”

Freya lowered her eyes. Ashley was unaware of the agreement Freya had struck with Charles when they got married. They would only remain married for a

year..
